De Lima orders probe into Boratong’s 2-storey house at NBP

Justice Secretary Leila De Lima on Tuesday said that she has ordered an investigation of the report that Amin Boratong, who was convicted due to “shabu tiangge” operation in Pasig City, was allegedly able to construct a two-storey house inside the New Bilibid Prisons (NBP) in Muntinlupa City.

According to De Lima, she is just awaiting for the report about the issue from Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) Director Franklin Bucayu.

However, De Lima said, if it will be proven that indeed Boratong has a house inside NBP, “heads will surely roll”.

De Lima said that any inmate should not be allowed to have a house inside the NBP compound.

De Lima added that they are also focusing to address the issues on the “contrabrands, illegal drugs and communications gadgets which were being smuggled inside the NBP compound.“ PNA
